Rantings of a Misunderstood Soul

It has been a long time since Charles has posted, so I finally decided that I would take over his blog for a day or two and catch everyone up. I am also hoping to show him that people really do read his blog and eagerly await his next post. He seems to think that no one cares (but me, of course). So this is what has happened since 14 October. I can't even really remember October but I do know

2004-10-11T21:05:00.000-05:00

Well, a month later, I am back. I can't even say that I have been busy. This has been the slowest month at work ever. We had the hurricane and all, but that allowed us to waste even more time and to top it off it was justified wasted time. I think everything being so relaxed and nice is what has actually kept me away from posting. I have just been enjoying this time of relaxation. During the

Most of you have probably seen this, but just in case you haven't here it is: This Land. I am so tired of this election. I am sick of CNN and Fox News and how they rehash everything a million times. I am tired of hearing about the Vietnam Era and how each candidate acted during that time period. I am really sick of people that act like it is a surprise that the elections are dirty. Come on, we

I have always been fascinated by death. I had never really stopped to think why until just a few days ago. I have never been afraid of death. I really think that I could die tomorrow with out a problem. Sure, there are things that I wish I could do before I die, but when your time comes not much can be done about what you have done and have not. I guess that I already know what it feels like to

Not sure if this is appropriate, but I know that it's funny.

2004-08-09T21:04:00.000-05:00

I am officially done. I got my test score back and I got a 91%. It is such a relief. I did a lot better then I had expected to. I am kind of disappointed that I missed a 95 by so little. If I had gotten a 95 or above I would have gotten off 3 days of work. Oh well, we get what we deserve. Moving on with life, I am soon to being school again. I am kind of excited to get started so I can finish as

2004-07-28T21:49:00.000-05:00

It's over. I am finally done with my CDC's. Today I took the end of course exam. I don't know my score yet, but I know that I passed. I think that I got some where in the 80's. Next week I will find out what I got. I feel like I actually have options now. I wasn't able to study or work another job until I was done with this and now I have the ability to choose to do something new. I still

Have you ever played one of those really fun and addicting flash games? Check out this one. You have to move the mouse around to keep the drunk guy from falling over, very amusing. Well, it seems like Spain will never change. Out in the first round like always. I am betting that Portugal will win this one, they deserve it in my opinion.

I have been struggling with this war for some time now. I can't seem to make up mind about it. I had gotten so fed up with it that I had just decided to stop thinking about for a while. After reading Ryan's post I felt the urge to work it out in my mind. I find it kind of hard to form an opinion about it because I don't think that the public has been given a very faithful account of the truth.

2004-06-11T06:09:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm off. I just found out Wednesday after noon that I have to go TDY to South Carolina. I am going to Shaw AFB in Sumter. We are going to be staying in a hotel in Columbia though. I know that is close to where Eva is so I might give her a call if I have any time off. I have no idea when I am coming back. It might be in two or three days or two weeks. Anyways, I will let everyone know how my

I have finally fulfilled one of my dreams. I just

The Solitude of Life At times I feel such a heavy burden. My heart weighs a thousand pounds and my head sags. This curse is too much to live with at times. I am always so far from all I love and wish to see. It is as if wishing to see loved ones is too much to ask for. Both sides of my family live in another continent. My best friend is over a thousand miles away. All those that are dear to me

I was kind of tired of how my old blog looked and decided to change it. I like the new look blogger has. The templates look a lot better. Anways, this will have to do for now. My schedule is so messed up. My sleeping patterns have gotten so out of whack that I am always tired. I am "officially" working mid-shift. That means that I should go to work at ten at night and come home at seven in the

2004-05-09T22:24:00.000-05:00

Yes, I am alive. No, I have not suffered a terrible accident that has crippled me, not allowing me to type and thus causing me to neglect my blog. Yes, I am just lazy and all around a bum. I could blame it on my whacked up schedule, but why bother, well know that it would just be a lie. So let’s not pretend and just embrace the fact that being lazy is cool. Yes, that's right, cool. I am extremely

I would like to take up a few lines of this humble blog to make my wife blush. As most of you know, Jenn has been working for about a month now. Adjusting to the new schedule has been a challenge, but we have. I just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of her. She is doing incredibly well at her new job. Everyone is very impressed with her. What is incredible is how she doesn't miss a beat

Check out the following links: Penguin Madonna Wannabe Well, I took another test today. I got an 86%. Not bad considering the class average was 79%. Almost 30% of the class failed. Actually, it was really hard. I studied harder than I have for any other test in my life (which isn't saying much really) and look at the score I got. They cram so much information down our throats that you get

I know, I know.... It has been forever. I am sorry I have not written for such a long time. I just... I don't know. I have been strange lately. I have just been kind of absent from my own mind. I have tried several times to write, but I have found nothing to say. I have been in one of those strange moods. The one where you don't feel great or horrible or even good or down, just kind of there. An

Here are a few links that have "entertained" me over the past few days. Death to Penguins!!! Gay Games. The gay games thing is kind of stupid if you think about it. Especially if you think about it in the weak pansy sense of the word. It would be like having a bunch of Mr. Peek's trying to do the long jump or the high jump. That was wrong of me to say, but very true and funny. The gay attitude

I finally finished To Green Angel Tower. It has taken me forever to finish it. It is a very large book, almost 1000 pages. That has never really been a hindrance before so I guess that I shouldn't use it as an excuse. The truth is that I took me a while to really get in to the book. It is an excellent book and I would recommend it to any Fantasy enthusiast, but I feel like it caught me at the

After watching The Passion of the Christ I really didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to think, say or how to react. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I took it very personally. I was so stunned by it all. It seemed so... I don't know. I was so overwhelmed that I decided not to think about it for awhile. After sleeping on it, I feel better. I liked Ryan’s post. It was very well done. I too liked

It's nice to be home. I have been gone too much lately. I don't go back to work till Monday so I have some time to recover. Jenn and I are going to see the Passion today. I am kind of worried that I am going to be disappointed. Something has been bothering me lately (as usual). I have seen most of the interviews that Mel Gibson has had on TV. The whole anti-semitic thing is really annoying me. I

2004-02-23T18:04:00.000-06:00

Time off is very nice. I really needed this time to relax. The good thing is that when we get back to Florida I will still have several days till I have to go back to work. It's great seeing friends again. Me and Jenn are having a great time with Janna and Josh. It's the first time we have really hung out with another young married couple. I like it since we have so much in common. When we get

Unfortunatley, you don't really mind chopping down the rain forest, and you probably consider homeless people expendable in certain circumstances.

You're Pale Fire! by Vladimir Nabokov You're really into poetry and the interpretation thereof. Along the road of life, you have had several identity crises which make it very unclear who you are, let alone how to interpret poetry. You probably came from a foreign country, but then again you seem foreign to everyone in ways unrelated to immigration. Most people think you're quite funny, but

I am finally home. It feels great. These last two days have been some of the best of my life. It feels so good to be in my own home again. I am still kind of tired, but it's getting better. I got the new Switchfoot cd. I like it a lot. The music isn't the best they have ever done, but the lyrics are good as always. I love the way they expressed emotions. Switchfoot has always really impressed me.

The last day. I am so excited to be leaving this place and to be going back to my warm and tender wife. Tomorrow we pack up and Saturday we leave for Florida. It is going to be a long and boring trip. Especially since we will not be speeding like we did on the way here (I hit 100 mph with a 14 foot Uhaul that weighed about 6 tons) since we got tickets in Texas (I didn't since I wasn't driving at

I am just tired of being in Arizona and away from my life (well, my pseudo life since I am convinced that my life has not really started yet). I am tired of not being able to be wife my wife.

I have become obsessed with the idea of lost passion and purpose. I feel a sleep. As if I have been drugged and beaten senseless. I have come to understand that passion and purpose are one thing. You can not have one without the other. A passionless purpose is the equivalent of a ritual. Why do we no longer feel the tug of life? Why do we no longer believe in the nobility of life and it's meaning

A world of lost justice. Life has lost its meaning. The mind has lost its bearing. Our souls have fled leaving us naked against the bitter cold wind of truth. Hope is the first thing we have lost and evil hatred the last. Justice is a vile word and righteousness is meant to look petulant. We are all traitors.

My wife is asking God to bless the Gap. That is a bit trivial if you ask me, but then again triviality is a very amusing thing. Like statistics for example. They are incredibly useless, narrow minded and most of the time made up on the spot. Nevertheless we stick to them like grape jelly to a dirty diaper...or...something...like that. I guess they give us a fake sense of security. As if they
